Medical Marijuana Hearing
(From Left to Right: Rep. Mark Pocan, Sen. Jon Erpenbach, Jacki Rickert & Gary Storck)
The hearing for the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act took place on Dec. 15 at the state capitol. An announcement is yet to be made regarding the bill going to a vote. Meantime, you can still submit your testimonial by following the instructions posted below. Stay tuned for more information regarding upcoming events.
How to Submit Written Testimony:
To show your support, submit your written testimony to Kelly.Johnson@legis.wisconsin.gov in State Sen. Jon Erpenbach’s office. The mailing address is Room 8 South State Capitol P.O. Box 7882 Madison, WI 53707-7882. Sen. Erpenbach’s office will make all submitted written testimony available to all members of both committees.
Concise and easy to read submissions with a narrow focus on your personal connection to the issue will likely get read more than long submissions that stray off topic into things like the total legalization of cannabis. Please stay on topic. The bill is not about marijuana legalization, but creating a narrow exemption for the sick and dying. Legalizing marijuana overall is not covered by the bill and is not pertinent to this discussion.
